Weistec transmission pan install SL63
Hello R230 group, specifically with the 156 motor. I finally got around to installing this pan today and the center bracket for the underbelly splash guard won't go around the new pan to be able to fasten the two center 8mm screws. Anyone find a workaround for this?
Thanks! Marc

I ended up leaving it be. The several retainers beyond those 2 are plenty to keep the splash guard securely fastened. Once my project queue clears up, I may go back and carefully trim part of the guard for a perfectly flush fit.
